And your posting in graphic detail why? also do you have a cat or something? if so and you let it have access to the duck that might be what killed it just a guess/thought. also I don't see how this should be posted in new member intros maybe a older member can comment. either way I feel sorry for the duck

Ducks and we only have dogs who are in another room

If the dogs had a chance to get in the room they are most likely what killed the ducks (sorry it sounded like you only had the one). if you think that not possible then did you leave another door or window open and either a cat or other animal came in because of it?

So they were in the house? Than something in the house killed them?
How sad. If you only have dogs than my guess would be the dogs unless they were locked up and had no way to get to them

 

[The Duckler]

The dogs are locked in the room all the windows are closed due to how cold it is

 

[morganalefae]

so if the dogs could not get in and other animals could not get in...maybe someone and not something?

Are we talking about ducklings or young ducks? An estimate of their weight?
There are not cats in the house and dogs were safely enclosed so, most probably rats. Something of racoon size or bigger wouldn't drag a duckling that can transport easily in the mouth. Look for traces in the blood trail. Show photos ot the trail here.
